A New Materialism: A Reading Of The New Art From China, Mary Wiseman
A New Materialism: A Reading Of The New Art From China, Mary Wiseman
Comparative Philosophy
This essay has three parts. The first moves from what artists confronted when China was first opened to the west in 1978 to what two classical Chinese critics and artists said art was and how it was to be made. The second looks at artists’ works made between two exhibitions in the United States, one in 1998, the other in 2017, to find an uncanny reprise of the classical principles. The third looks at the ideas of the global, contemporary, and art through the works of Peter Osborne and Arthur Danto that apply to the new art from China.

This article explains how nanotechnology can be used in digital art forms and how it may be used in the near future. The development of nanotechnology has led to breathroughts such as the discovery of buckyballs and fullerenes. Such concepts eventually led to the research into nanobiology. The world of nanotechnology is still considered new and all of the concepts that dabbled into this medium can be expectred to evolve as time goes by.
Gnarled Defined, Rudy Rucker
Gnarled Defined, Rudy Rucker

The article is a reflection of the author’s conception of the term ‘gnarly’, extending the term’s meaning from its origins in California surfer slang. 'Gnarly' is often used in a colloquial context, however, the author believes that the term is able to be used in an academic field as it pertains to outcomes and results of equations. Discussions towards the application of the term 'gnarly' showcase how it can be used in a scientific, mathematical, and artistic context through seemingly random patterns. In order to be gnarly, things must lie and exist between the realm of orderly and chaotic often …

The article describes some of the author’s own image-generating computer programs that he describes as “gnarly”. He began writing a simple spirograph program based off simple sine wave function called Spiro. Later transitioned into writing with C and better programs using more nonlinear feedback. Where Spiro is based on a simple sine wave function, Vine uses a nested sine function: the sine of the sine. The need for a more complicated computational approach lead to iteration and parallelism. Julgnarl uses Iteration and Calife uses parallelism. Calife shows one-dimensional cellular automata: spaces in which virtual computers are lined up like beads …

An article about how photographic and electronically created pictures mediate and determine social reality, which is one of the most complicated concerns of our time. Definitions of media, the individual's position and responsibilities in society, and the nature of the photographic picture are all on the table. Gary Garrels, Jim Lewis, Christopher Phillips, Sandra S. Phillips, Abigail Solomon-Godeau, Robert R. Riley, and John Weber analyze the work of fifteen postwar artists working in a variety of media to answer these issues. The article starts with a third person point of view about the subject. As the article progresses, it shifts …

Interview with Joel Slayton, Professor of Computers in Fine Art at San José State University, and Director of the CADRE Institute. Slayton discusses the history of the Cadre Institute and details his views on the relationship between art and new technology. Slayton describes the role of artists in exploring the possibilities and ethical implications of emerging technologies such as genetic engineering, nano-techology, robotics, and artificial life. He describes installations and in-progress work focused on ubiquitous video surveillance. The interview concludes with a discussion of Slayton’s use of the DoWhatDo model for artistic collaboration and of his piece "Conduits," presented in …
